The 2007 Scion tC compares very favorably to its competition. It excels in interior fit and finish, with a level of quality reminiscent of a Lexus. Its 2.4L inline-four engine produces 161 horsepower, which is on the high end when compared to its peers, and its suspension tuning makes the car a blast to drive. Opting for a five-speed manual transmission and the Spec Package puts it at $15,000, which makes it one of the few exciting vehicles priced at a point that makes it affordable to almost everyone looking for a new car.
